If a person took the extra effort to send me the white thumb emoji instead of the yellow one I would assume very mean things about them
Exactly
I’ve used ✊ as a certain flavor of “fuck yeah” before
✊🏻 hits wayyy different than that
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
“Time for your discussion about which emoji thumbs white people should use to solve racism!”
Reparations plsWe have to be careful with the way we speak if we don’t want to alienate people. So: Will we deny reparations to black and brown people, or will we deny them to people of color?
We will give reparations to BIPOC, but only in the form of an IMF loan, with 200% interest rate
This is the shit that conservatives think we care about
This is why we need revolution, to make sure people use emojis right 😞
To be fair to conservatives… there are 61 comments in here
bikeshedding
Metacaring is not the same as caring
I won’t be satisfied ubtil they add skin tones to 🍆
👍
I’ve never seen anyone use anything but 👍
This feels like an attempt by Big Emoji to get people to actually use the other ones
Not like us here, with our prodigious amounts of quality, original emoji
Some of my poc friends use the brown ones. I wouldn’t give them a hard time about it. But speaking as someone who is white passing using the white skin emojis would be too weird
i always make mine brown some of my friends do, most dont. yellow makes me feel like a Simpsons character. no one cares.
Just seems like an extra step for emoji I already barely use to be honest. Occasionally use like 👍🏽 or smth, but I mostly just hit the default simpsons one. In any case it’s a very weird thing to police
my mom is brown, and uses the brown ones, but the brown one is way darker than she is and so it just seems kinda off. It’s like, mom, your skin tone is Halle Berry, not Grace Jones
(i’d never tell her that tho)
As an Asian person, am I supposed to use the yellow emoji or the white emoji if that’s closer to my actual skin tone?
Please help me crowdfund to get an answer from America’s foremost emoji raceologists.
If you have calipers on hand, could you take the normal measurements of your skull and send them to me? I’ll get back to you within 3-7 business days on which emoji is most applicable. Please include $20 dollars in vbucks as payment.
Oh shit I don’t have Vbucks. Will you accept Robux instead? I really need to know.
Oh absolutely, but the price just doubled.
What’s the current Skibidi exchange rate?
I use an Android with gboard so I only use giant combo emojis. If you aren’t using these you need to be. It’s the one thing Google has done right in like 20 years.
I love this turtle
Can this be the default?
Holy fuck
I love every part of this monster
Thank you so much I just played around with this and had so much fun
:bottom-peas:
Oh believe me I found a ton more 🥺 ones, though bottom-peas might be the best
:bottom-tea: is also pretty good
I cackled at the slot machine one
Star goose is a vibe
So this is what Lauren Boebert’s into?
Bee da goose 💀
Thank you for telling me about this!
I almost exclusively use the cat face emojis
yeah but 🐈⬛ or 🐈?
Depends on which of my cats was a brat to me recently.
😺😸😹😻😼😽🙀😿😾🐱🐈🐈⬛
Every white person who selects the non yellow emoji is automatically sus
For the next 5 minutes, every white person who responds with a brown-skin emoji gets to be honorary
“Your honor, my client had sent a brown-skin emoji before he started rapping”
This is the kind of shit you think about when you don’t give a shit about capital literally destroying the Earth in real time
This is radlib quibbling through and through, but I want to add a refutation anyway:
There was discussion before on this site about how nominally white people shouldn’t identify with whiteness. Isn’t this an example of that, however trivial? Unless I’m a racist, why would I ever want to go out of my way to further identify myself with whiteness? I won’t deny that my experience is one of being white and in fact want to be transparent about it, but that’s not the same as wanting to append “as a honky” to every statement I make. That’s White Pride shit (i.e. shit)
I feel like it will always be a catch 22 with no right answers on an individual level until racism has been dealt with structurally. As a white person, you cannot be ethically pure in the world as it is, even though obviously something like this is really trivial
Yeah, I’m not saying it’s a perfect retort but I think in this case it’s pretty clear that snow roaches using the yellow emojis is better.
As a white person
In all seriousness, how do I tell if I’m white? I keep thinking about another user’s example of Assad. He appears white-passing, but his name, religion and nationality would each be enough for him to be considered non-white in the US.
And is a case like that one where it actually matters to what extent the person identifies with whiteness?
It’s funny. Most of my great grandparents wouldn’t have been considered “white” in their early years in America, yet here I am, undisputably white. White Hispanics are another one that feels kind of nebulous. I also saw a clip of an Irish comedian saying he visited America and he doesn’t have white guilt because in Ireland “we planted the potatoes, and then dug them up ourselves”
In conclusion, whiteness is bullshit and needs to be destroyed.
Then there’s the Irish who left for America because there weren’t any potatoes to pull up (not edible ones, anyway), were discriminated against but eventually their descendants were accepted into the white hegemony, and nowadays benefit from American white privilege.
That’d be me, and I definitely have white guilt and will not by using the white power emoji.
Plus I’m a huge Simpsons fan 👍
You are white until rugpulled
